Rizwan Arshad endorses Rahul Gandhi's statement on ISI

October 27, 2013

Bangalore, Oct 27: The Karnataka Pradesh Youth Congress Committee (KPYCC) has endorsed the statement of Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi who said Pakistan's intelligence agency ISI was in touch with some Muslim youths from the riot-hit Muzaffarnagar in Uttar Pradesh.

In a statement, KPYCC president Rizwan Arshad said the ISI would “exploit the communal and polarised situation in the aftermath of the communal violence in Muzaffarnagar. The youth there have seen their near and dear ones being killed, raped and chased away from their villages. Their pain, anger and helplessness will certainly be exploited by the anti-India forces and countries such as Pakistan”.

The statement said: “The exploitation of Muslim youth started in 1992 with the demolition of the Babri Masjid and the resultant riots wherein thousands were killed and millions displaced across the country. The 2002 Gujarat riots resulted in more brutalities against the Muslim community.”

Pointing out that Bharatiya Janata Party prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi had no right to ask for an apology from Mr. Gandhi for his remark, the statement said the biggest beneficiary of communal polarisation was the BJP and the sangh parivar. The Muslim community did not require Mr. Modi's sympathies, the statement added.

News Network

December 7,2024

Udupi, Dec 7: A tragic incident involving the death of a 38-year-old hotel worker in Manipal has been confirmed as a case of suicide, dispelling initial reports of murder. Udupi Superintendent of Police (SP) Dr. Arun Kumar clarified the matter after an investigation, including CCTV footage review, revealed the victim, Sridhara, took his own life in a shocking and rare manner.

Incident Overview
The lifeless body of Sridhara, a resident of Kasarakoda and hotel employee in Manipal, was discovered early Friday near Ananta Kalyana Nagara. Initially, it was believed he had been murdered, his throat reportedly slit with a beer bottle. However, a detailed inspection of the scene and CCTV evidence from a nearby shop confirmed that Sridhara inflicted the fatal injury on himself.

Footage revealed the chilling sequence: Sridhara was seen walking purposefully to the spot before suddenly using a beer bottle to slit his throat, collapsing moments later. The act left his throat almost entirely severed, and the beer bottle, along with an empty bag, was found near his body.

Suspected Drug Influence
Authorities suspect Sridhara may have been under the influence of narcotics at the time. A post-mortem examination was conducted at KMC Manipal to uncover any potential contributing factors.

Public Concern and Investigation Status
Although the investigation has ruled out foul play, local residents have urged authorities to probe further to ensure no external involvement was overlooked. The police, while confident in their findings, have withheld the CCTV footage from public release due to the sensitive nature of the case and ongoing inquiries.

“This was a tragic and rare method of suicide, confirmed through thorough investigation and verified CCTV evidence,” SP Dr. Arun Kumar stated, urging the public to avoid speculation.

The incident has left the community in shock, sparking discussions around mental health awareness and the impact of substance abuse. Authorities continue to investigate further to close the case conclusively.
